Pioneering Italian American Culture: Escaping La Vita Cucina

Since the 1960s Daniela Gioseffi has been an irrepressible and unforgettable voice in many of the key debates in American culture. Her... advocacy has given a special validity to her work in the fields of civil rights and of anti-war activism no less than in the struggles against mafia stereotypes and for an Italian American literary tradition. This book displays the depth and range of her commitment and contribution. - Robert Viscusi, Author: "Astoria" and "Ellis Island," Founding President: The Italian American Writers Association.
